AD - Press Trip | What a lovely evening that was! AD - Press Trip | What a lovely evening that was! We had our first Glow Marwell experience tonight - and we loved it. It may even be the best light trail we have been to.

We spent well over two hours at @marwellzoo, enjoying the light installations, indulging in the food stalls and cafe, toasting marshmallows and even meeting Father Christmas! 

Glow Marwell was such a nice way to kick off the festive season - and it’s on all the way through December! If you’re looking for a really nice festive activity the whole family can enjoy, this could definitely be it!
AD | Are you looking for gifts for the grandparent AD | Are you looking for gifts for the grandparents this year? @famileo_uk is a wonderful gift, giving the recipient a personalised gazette of family news regularly throughout the year - and it costs from just £5.99 a month. 

Multiple family members can use the same subscription, all posting messages to be added to one gazette - and sharing the cost of the subscription too! It’s great for parents, siblings and children to all share their news with grandparents each week, fortnight or month. 

We’ve been sending my dad Family gazettes for a while now and he absolutely loves them. It means we tell him all the little things that are happening and not just the big news you remember to mention in phone calls. The children get to upload their own messages to their grandad and it’s definitely made them feel closer, building a stronger relationship despite living far apart.

Find out more about Family over on the blog - link in bio - and buy a subscription for your nearest and dearest this Christmas. It’s a gift they will definitely love to receive.

They’re now three months old, super loving and happy, making biscuits and purring constantly.

They stay in ‘their’ room overnight but explore the house during the day, getting more confident as time passes. They even got to the point of relaxing on the sofa with us last night.

Fred & George are now very much part of our family and I can’t imagine them not being there now - even at 7am when they’re miaowing at the door for breakfast!

A whole week of Fred & George. We weren’t meant A whole week of Fred & George.

We weren’t meant to get more cats just yet but sometimes the universe sends you things when you don’t expect them.

These little guys needed a home and a family to love them. And we had a home and a lot of love to give. We still miss Leia but this pair are definitely helping make me feel whole again.

They are both used to us now, and love us. They’re less nervous, give us cuddles and let us pick them up. They’re still living in our spare room but starting to explore the rest of the house under supervision. 

They play fight constant. Love toys, especially a crinkly feather thing on a string attached to a stick, and love being up high. They are an awesome pair and we are so glad to have them.

Thank you @millbrook_rspca @rspca_official for trusting us with ‘Lonestar and Starfish’. We could not love them more.

I wanted to put some of my favourite photos on the grid too as the kids did so many fun activities - they had THE best time. 

Giant swing, segways, climbing, archery, laser clays… there was so much to do that we couldn’t fit it all in - we need another trip!

This half term has been pretty lovely. Troy had his school residential the first weekend and then we had a really lovely few days in Norfolk before heading home and picking up two new members of our family - Fred and George. 11 week old rescue kittens who have pretty much stolen our hearts.

It’s been so nice to have a chunk of quality time with this pair and now I’m looking forward to the Christmas holidays. These two are the best company and I really do live for the school holidays. 

How has your half term been?

Want to Purchase a Domain Name? Here are Some Things to Consider | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

If a website can be likened to the interior of a retail store, its domain name directly equates to its billboard. Much like determining the brand identity of a brick-and-mortar company, deciding upon the best domain name is an important factor if you hope to enjoy success. While there are some technical aspects to consider, you will also need to perform a fair amount of brainstorming. Let’s quickly examine the qualities of a sound domain name before moving on to mention a handful of useful tools which can point you in the right direction.

What’s in a Name? More than You Think!

The majority of marketing experts agree that simplicity goes a long way towards producing a quality name. It should be easy to remember and equally easy to type into an address bar. This type of recognition is essential if you hope to differentiate yourself from the masses. Secondly, try to tie together your current branding with the name in question. It could also be wise to make the name specific to a region or town if you plan on catering to a discrete audience. A handful of other metrics which should be followed include:

  • Choose well-known suffixes such as .net or .com for better recognition.
  • Make sure that your name is not too similar to that of a competitor.
  • When in doubt, look to the Internet for inspiration.

Modern technology has simplified these processes even further. In fact, it is now easier than ever before to  buy domain  names within only minutes. This will provide you with the actionable insight required to being promoting the products or services that are being offered.

Simplifying the Purchasing Process

Determining the title and personality of your website is one thing. Purchasing a quality domain name from a trusted provider is another subject entirely. It is best to use well-known e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, as you will be able to determine whether or not the name is available in a matter of seconds. Assuming that it has not been taken, the title can be registered with a few simple steps. In the event that another website already possesses the name in question, built-in software algorithms will present you with similar titles. This can also be a great tool to use if you wish to brainstorm further before committing to one name over another.

Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of glossing over the process of choosing a domain name , as they find it less interesting when compared to other actions such as web design or product development.  However, the fact of the matter is that a domain name is much like the title of a book. It is meant to generate interest and to attract attention. This is why there is absolutely nothing wrong with spending a significant amount of time during this initial step. It pays to be patient and in this case, a domain name can speak 1,000 words (and many more).

    This article provides valuable insights into the importance of selecting the right domain name for your website. It aptly likens a domain name to a billboard for your online presence and emphasizes its significance in brand identity. The advice on simplicity and memorability is spot-on; after all, an easy-to-remember domain name is more likely to stick in users’ minds.
